The Messerschmitt Bf 109 was the primary German fighter during World War II (1939–1945). It took part in famous air battles – including the Battle of Britain, the French campaign, and the fighting on the Eastern Front. This aircraft, developed by Willy Messerschmitt’s team, stood out with its innovative design, powerful Daimler-Benz engine, and excellent maneuverability. Its speed of over 600 km/h and the possibility for further modifications meant the Bf 109 was used – in various versions – throughout the war. In addition to the Luftwaffe, it was also operated by Axis allied and collaborationist countries.
